UNDERSTAND THE IDEA
Stability is built with feasible supports.
Routines for health, nourishment, sleep, appointments, and connection are affected by resources and capacity. Planning a smaller version and a restart cue can make a routine more adaptable. Stability is not measured by perfect completion.
Facilitation lens: Ask what barrier needs a service, accommodation, or shared task. Do not use the activity to ration basic care or alter prescribed treatment.

Fictional example
A member is choosing between travel costs and another basic need.
Open with choice — 3 minutes
Explain the purpose, privacy limits, and the option to observe, use fiction, adapt, or pass. Check access needs and group readiness; do not promise absolute confidentiality.
Meet the fictional case — 4 minutes
A member is choosing between travel costs and another basic need. Ask what is known, what is assumed, and what the person in the case wants.
Practice: Skills rehearsal — 16 minutes
Map one financial pressure and a resource or conversation that may help. Offer speaker, support-listener, and observer roles using the fictional case. Model a brief permission-based exchange, rehearse one small part of the task, and invite a role switch only by choice. Observers notice clarity and consent rather than rating people.
Reflect and compare — 4 minutes
What requires material support rather than more discipline? Ask what fits, what does not, and what external conditions or supports affect the options. No personal disclosure is required.
Close and integrate — 3 minutes
Invite an optional observation, support request, or small next step. Passing is welcome. Agree how to revisit questions and seek appropriate help outside the exercise.
Practice output
A brief practiced statement, question, or support request, plus one revision.
Scope and adaptation
Use ordinary or fictional examples, not graphic substance-use stories or cue exposure. No competitive abstinence scoring, forced disclosure, or required pathway. These plans do not manage intoxication, overdose, withdrawal, or medication changes; follow individualized care and appropriate medical assessment.
Offer reading aloud, typing, drawing, pointing, or observation. Avoid mandatory movement, eye contact, touch, and body focus.
